中考英语语法整合复习第2课时冠词牛津版

中考英语语法整合复习第2课时冠词牛津版

中考英语语法整合复习第2课时冠词牛津版第2课时冠词中考对冠词的考查重点是不定冠词、定冠词以及零冠词的用法,题型以选择题为主。

考查定冠词和不定冠词的区别;不定冠词重在考查学生对a和an的区分。

预计2016年将会考查定冠词与零冠词和不定冠词混合型为主的选择题。

冠词分为不定冠词(a,an)和定冠词(the)。

一、不定冠词的用法1. 用于可数名词的单数形式前,指人或事物的某一种类。

如:She is a girl. 她是一个女孩。

Pass me an apple,please. 请给我一个苹果。

2. 指某人或某物,但不具体说明何人或何物。

如:A boy is waiting for you. 一个男孩在等你。

We work six days a week. 我们一周工作六天。

3. 表示“一”这个数量,但数的概念没有one强烈。

如:We are going to have an English lesson tomorrow.我们明天将要上一节英语课。

I have a mouth,a nose,two eyes and two ears.我有一个嘴巴、一个鼻子、两只眼睛和两只耳朵。

4. 用于某些固定的词组中,如:a few,a little,a lot of,have a rest,have a swim注:用a还是an,要看后面的单词的读音是以辅音开头还是以元音开头。

二、定冠词的用法1. 用在谈话双方都知道所指人或物的名词前。

如:There is none on the playground. 操场上没有人。

Please close the window. 请把窗户关上。

2. 在序数词前或在“定冠词+年份的阿拉伯数字+s’”结构中,表示以“十年为一个单位”的年代。

如:He lives on the first floor. 他住在二楼。

They are going to show you clothes from the 1970s to the 1990s.今天他们要向你们展示20世纪70年代到90年代的服装。

Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians believed Stonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,”he points out.Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working —and great planners!”1.

Six centuries ago.C. 5,000 years ago.D. In 2001.3. What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?A. Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.B. It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime.C. It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.D. It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones.4. What aren’t people interested in about Stonehenge?A. Where it was built.B. Who built it.C. When it was built.D. Why it was built.5. What does Paul Stoker mean by “we do know they must have been hard-working —and great planners”?A. He has known who built Stonehenge.B. He thinks Stonehenge is really a great mystery.C. He believes he will find out who built Stonehenge.D. He encourages volunteers to build another Stonehenge.任务型阅读Have you ever wondered what goes through your mind when you choose where to sit in a new classroom? Or in a waiting room full of strangers? Or on a bus? Researchers have found out some interesting facts.Perhaps unsurprisingly, we prefer to sit closer to people like ourselves. Girls sit by girls and boys sit by boys. Adults sit together and young people choose another young person to sit near. But it goes further than this. We even choose to sit near someone who looks like us. People with glasses are more likely to sit near other people with glasses. People with long hair sit closer to other people with long hair.We seem to believe that people with similar habits or hobbies will share similar attitude and we are more likely to be accepted by people like ourselves or even, we think we may be safer with people who look like us. Sometimes that’s true but it’s a pity if we always stick to the same people, the same group. The danger in always staying in our comfort zone is that we just recycle the same opinions, the same tastes and the same ideas. We lose the chance to learn something new, find out about interesting things, hear funny stories and discover difference.When we always stick to the same people, how can we ever break down the barriers which prevent us from getting to know people with different ideas? And how can we avoid the ignorance (无知), which too often leads to prejudice (偏见) and even fear? If instead you want to live in a society that opens to changes and new things and different opinions, be the cat among the pigeons.Move out of your comfort zone. Go and sit next to someone different. And don't just sit there in silence. Say hello. Ask a question. Start a conversation. That’s how we make friends. That’s how we learn about people. That’s how we open our minds to new ideas. That’s how we live anexciting life.首字母填空Chai Jing, used to be a journalist with China Central Television, presents a self-funded documentary about smog in Beijing, Feb 28, 2015.The (1) documentary about smog Under the Dome is inspired by her sick daughter.
